 WvV> This is the list I get:

 WvV>
https://pgp.surfnet.nl/pks/lookup?search=abolins&fingerprint=on&op=index

Thank you for that.  Yes, that list looks the same at the other servers
that I tried.  Syncing is working!


 WvV> I get that same one in my list, ..
 WvV> ..I can import it from the keyserver: ..
 WvV> But afterwards it can't be listed: ..

If my original key has either expired or is no longer compatible with
the newer PGP since then, that is probably a good thing.


 AA>> This is what I did with a bunch of 3 1/2 diskettes a few
 AA>> years ago: ..

 WvV> You have too much time! ;)

It was something one could do rather mindlessly while watching TV.  I
actually had another pair of hands helping me.  We went through that
cubic foot of diskettes in less than 3 hours.


 AA>> As an aside: I like the "status" page at
 AA>> https://sks-keyservers.net/status/

 AA>> It would be fun to see a similar live version of something
 AA>> like that for the modest 900 IP nodes...But I digress.

 WvV> Fun for some, but painfull for others: It would embarrass a
 WvV> lot of hosts, because it would show how bad their segments
 WvV> are maintained in the nodelist...

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. 

There is another one that I first mentioned in FUTURE4FIDO in April:

  https://fido.net.wisc.edu/

A version for Fidonet IP/BBS network status would be very cool.  But I
digress..
